What You’ll Need

  • 2 tbsp matcha powder (high-quality, preferably ceremonial grade)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
all ingredients for matcha milk spread

Pro Tips

  1. Use high-quality matcha – The better the matcha, the smoother and more flavorful your spread will be. Ceremonial-grade matcha works best.
  2. Mix matcha with a little liquid first – This helps prevent clumps when adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
  3. Low and slow cooking is key – Keep the heat low to avoid burning or making the mixture too thick.
  4. Adjust sweetness – If you prefer a less sweet spread, use unsweetened condensed milk and add a touch of honey instead.
  5. Chill for best texture – The spread thickens as it cools, so don’t worry if it looks runny when warm.

Tools You’ll Need

  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Small bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Glass jar (for storage)

Substitutions & Variations

  • Dairy-Free? Use coconut milk and coconut condensed milk.
  • Sweeter? Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • Thicker? Increase the cornstarch slightly.

Make-Ahead Tips

  • Store in the fridge for up to one week in an airtight jar.
  • If it thickens too much, warm it up slightly and stir before using.

How to Make Matcha Milk Spread

1. Mix Matcha & Cornstarch

In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of milk until smooth. This prevents lumps.
